A knight cannot jump if a piece is on its adjacent orthogonal "square".

Are you an advocate for Chinese chess? I see you advertising it all over the site.

I'm pretty sure some real-life knights (horses) are unable to jump when there are too many obstacles around them.

I once tried to replace a knight by the Chinese chess version and the king by the Chinese chess version.

 

I got checkmated very easily on f7.

Not if it's a Chinese chess knight (ma).
